Trumpeter and bandleader Nick Etwell has performed professionally since the age of 15 and over the 30 years since has worked with some of the biggest names in music. Although perhaps best known as frontman to the long-standing soul-jazz group The Filthy Six (acid jazz records/colour red), he has toured extensively across the globe backing up a varied and diverse range of artists including Tom Jones, Ronnie Spector, Mavis Staples, David Axelrod, Roy Harper, Roger Daltrey, Madness, Duran Duran, Beck, Jill Scott, Noel Gallagher and Mumford & Sons. This group is a new venture including two fellow sidemen from The Filthy Six - Pete Whittaker on organ (Jim Mullen, Art Themen, Dave O’Higgins) and Simon Lea on drums (Dionne Warwick, Rod Stewart, Jamie Cullum, Ronnie Scott’s house band) - with the trio performing a mixture of jazz standards, soul-jazz classics and original material, leaning towards the groovier side of things whenever possible.

“Consummate musicianship, groove, style and panache”

“Etwell has a Blue Mitchell kind of lyricism to his playing that harks back to the dawn of jazz”

"Led with brassy authority by trumpeter Nick Etwell, this punchy band recalled the muscular funk of Jimmy Smith & Brother Jack McDuff and went down a treat! "
